PREFACE
Theories are being developed, designed and stated on the groundwork of their
practical implementation and usage. Work experience seems to be the most
effective and indispensable factor of making an individual an adept. This is
because one can not do without being exposed to varying circumstances and
possible consequences. Training not only develops individual skills and
abilities but also provides proficiency in work performance.

Mutual Fund
Mutual fund is a mechanism for pooling the resources by issuing
units to the investors and investing funds in securities according to the
objective.
A mutual fund is created when investors put their money together a pool of
the investors funds. The most important characteristic of a mutual fund is that
the contributors and the beneficiaries of the fund are the same class of people,
namely the investors.
The term mutual means that investors contribute to the pool, and also benefit
from the pool. There are no other claimants to the funds. The pool of funds
held mutually by investors is the mutual fund.
A mutual funds business is to invest the funds thus collected, according to the
wishes of the investors who created the pool. In many markets these wishes
are articulated as investment mandates.
Usually, the investors appoint professional investment managers create a
product, and offer it for investment to the investor.
For e.g., a mutual fund, which sells a money market mutual fund, is actually
seeking investors willing to invest in a pool that would invest predominantly in
money market instruments.
Mutual funds issues units to investors in accordance with quantum of money
invested by them.
A mutual fund is required to be registered with SEBI, which regulates markets
before it can collect funds from the public.

What is a mutual fund?
A mutual fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who
share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in
capital market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities.
The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciation
realized is shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units
owned by them.
Thus a mutual fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it
offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket
of securities at a relatively low cost.
Important Characteristics of a Mutual Fund
1- A mutual fund actually belongs to the investors who have pooled
their funds is in the hands of the investors.
2- Investment professionals and other service providers, who earn
a free for their services, from the fund, manage a mutual fund.
3- The pool of funds invested in a portfolio of marketable
investments. The value of the portfolio is updated every day.
4- The investors share in the fund is denominated by units. The
value of the units changes in the portfolios value, every day.
The value of one unit of investment is called as the net asset
value of NAV.
5- The investment portfolio of the mutual fund is created according
to the stated investment objectives of the fund.

TYPES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
Mutual Funds schemes may be classified on the basis of its structure
and its investment objectives.
I Open-ended Funds/Schemes
An open ended fund or schemes is one tha t is ava ilab le for
subscription and repurchase on a continuous basis. These schemes do
not have a fixed maturity period. Investors can conveniently buy and sell
units at Net Asset Value (NAV) related prices that are declared on a daily
basis. The key feature of open-end scheme is liquidity.
II Close ended Funds/ Schemes
A closed ended fund or scheme has a stipulated maturity period of 5-7
year. The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period at the
time of launch of the scheme. They can buy or sell the units of the scheme
On the stock exchange where the units are listed. In order to provide an
exit route to the investors some close ended funds give an option of
selling back the units to the mutual fund periodic repurchase of NAV
related prices SEBI Regulations stipulate that at least one of the two exit
route is provided to the investor i.e. either repurchase facility or through
listing on stock exchange.
III. Interval Funds
These funds combine the feature of both open ended and close ended
funds wherein the fund is close ended for the first couple of years and
open ended thereafter. Some funds allows fresh subscription and
redemption at fixed times every year (say every six months) in order to
reduce the administrator aspects of daily entry or exit yet providing
reasonable liquidity.

4 By Investment Objective:
A scheme can be also be classified as growth scheme income scheme,
or balanced scheme considering its investment objective. Such scheme
may be
I. Growth / Equity Oriented Schemes
The aim of the growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the
medium to long-term. Such schemes normally invest a major part of their
corpus in equities. Such funds have comparatively high risks. These
schemes provide different options to the investors like dividend option,
capital appreciation, etc, and the investors may choose an option
depending on their preferences.
II. Income / Debt Oriented Schemes
The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady income to
investors. Such schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such
as bonds, corporate debenture, Government Securities and money
market instruments. Such funds are less risky compare to equityschemes. The Net Asset Values of such funds are affected because of
change in interest rate in the country.
III Balanced Funds
The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income
such as schemes invest both in equities and fixed income-securities in the
proportion indicated in their offer documents. These are appropriate for
investors looking for moderate growth. They generally invest 40-60% in
equity and debt instruments.
However, Net Asset Values of such funds are likely to be same volatile
compared to pure-equity funds.

IV. Money Market / Liquid Funds
These funds are also income funds and their aim is to provide easy
liquidity presentation of capital and moderate income. These schemes
invest exclusively in safer short-term instruments such as treasury bills,
certificates of deposits, commercial paper and inter-bank call money,
government securities, etc.
Returns on these schemes fluctuate much less compared to other funds.
These funds are appropriate for corporate and individual investors as a
means to park their surplus funds for shot periods.
V. Gilt Funds
These funds invest exclusively in Government securi ties .
Government securities have no default risk.
Net Asset Values of these schemes also fluctuate due to changes in
invest rates and other economic factors as in the case with income or
debt oriented schemes
VI. Load Funds
A load fund is one that changes a commission for entry or exit. That is,
each time you buy or sell units in the fund, a commission will be payable.
Typically, entry or exit loads range from 1% to 20%.
VII. No-Load Funds
A No-load fund is one that does not change a commission for entry or
exit. That is no commission is payable on sale or purchase of units in the

Terms associated with mutual fund
Net Asset Value (NAV)
The net asset value of the fund is the cumulative market value of the assets
fund net of its liabilities.
In other words, if the fund is dissolved or liquidated, by selling off all the assets
in the fund, this is the amount that the shareholders would collectively own.
This gives rise to the concept of net asset value per unit, which is the value,
represented by the ownership of one unit in the fund. It is calculated simply by
dividing the net asset value of the fund by the number of units. However, most
people refer loosely to the NAV per unit as NAV, ignoring the "per unit". We
also abide by the same convention.
Calculation of NAV
The most important part of the calculation is the valuation of the assets owned
by the fund. Once it is calculated, the NAV is simply the net value of assets
divided by the number of units outstanding. The detailed methodology for the
calculation of the asset value is given below.
Asset value is equal to
Sum of market value of shares/debentures
+ Liquid assets/cash held, if any
+ Dividends/interest accrued
Amount due on unpaid assets
Expenses accrued but not paid
ReLIANCeMutualFund
Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group
24
8/3/2019 Relaince Mutual Funds
25/93
Details on the above items
For liquid shares/debentures, valuation is done on the basis of the last or
closing market price on the principal exchange where the security is tradedFor
illiquid and unlisted and/or thinly traded shares/debentures, the value has to
be estimated. For shares, this could be the book value per share or an
estimated market price if suitable benchmarks are available. For debentures
and bonds, value is estimated on the basis of yields of comparable liquid
securities after adjusting for illiquidity. The value of fixed interest bearing
securities moves in a direction opposite to interest rate changes Valuation of
debentures and bonds is a big problem since most of them are unlisted and
thinly traded. This gives considerable leeway to the AMCs on valuation and
some of the AMCs are believed to take advantage of this and adopt flexible
valuation policies depending on the situation.
Loads:
Entry Load/Sale Load
Thus, the investor has to pay for the value of the units plus an additionalcharge. This additional charge is called the entry/sale load.
Exit Load/Repurchase Load
It is the charge imposed on the investor at the time of his exit from the
scheme. Operationally, therefore, the mutual fund will pay back to the investor
the value of the units reduced by the charge levied on exit.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
A mutual fund may not want to charge an exit load in all the cases. In such a
case the mutual fund may impose charges based on the time of withdrawal.
ReLIANCeMutualFund
Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group
25
8/3/2019 Relaince Mutual Funds
26/93
Thus, a fund desirous of long-term investors may stipulate that the exit charge
will keep reducing with duration of investment.
ReLIANCeMutualFund
Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group
26
8/3/2019 Relaince Mutual Funds
27/93
Such a charge is called Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. The asset
management company is entitled to levy a contingent deferred sales charge
for redemption during the first four years after purchase, not exceeding 4% of
the redemption proceeds in the first year, 3% in the second year, 2% in thethird year and 1% in the fourth year. In order to charge a CDSC the scheme
has to be a no load scheme as per the regulation laid down by SEBI. The idea
behind charging CDSC is the recovery of expenses incurred on promotion or
distribution of the scheme
Switchover/Exchange Fee
It is the fees charged by a fund when the investor decides to switch his
investment from one scheme of the fund to another scheme from the same
fund family.
Recurring Expenses:
Apart from loads, mutual funds also charge some other expenses. Even here
regulations stipulate the ceiling on each head. Some of the fees charged by
the fund are:
Investment Management & Advisory Fees - As the name explains
this is meant to remunerate the asset management company for
managing the investor's money.
Trustee Fees - is the fees payable to the trustees for managing the
trust.
Custodian Fees - is the fees paid by the fund to its custodians, the
organization which handles the possession of the securities invested in
by the fund.
Registrar and Transfer Agents Charges - is the fees payable to the
registrar and the transfer agents for handling the formalities related to
the transfer of units and other related operations.

ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY (AMC)

ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY (AMC)
Asset Management Company controls the operations and functioning of a
mutual fund. It is very critical to the performance of a mutual fund as it
decided on the style of functioning people who are going to manage the funds,
the commitment to service quality and overall supervision.
The financial strength and the commitment of the AMC sponsors to the
business are very key issue. This is because most AMC's lose money in the
first few years of operations. In most cases, these losses are much more
than the capital requirements stipulated by SEBI
Hence, a sponsor which is financially weak or which cannot capital to thebusiness either because of its inability or unwillingness will result in an
unhealthy operation. This is the last place where high quality persons would
want to remain and work.
The Asset Management Company then remains stunted and the sponsors lose
interest. The worst affected are the investors. This is exactly what has
happened with some AMC's promoted by Indian business houses.
OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO INVESTORS:
Each plan of every mutual fund has three options Growth, Dividend and
dividend reinvestment. Separate NAV are calculated for each scheme.
Dividend Option:
Under the dividend plan dividend are usually declared on quarterly or annual
basis. Mutual fund reserves the right to change the frequency of
dividend declared.
Dividend Reinvestment Option:
Instead of remittances of units through payouts, Units holder may choose to
invest the entire dividend in additional units of the scheme at NAV related
ReLIANCeMutualFund
Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group
30
8/3/2019 Relaince Mutual Funds
31/93
prices of the next working day after the record date. No sales or entry load is
levied on dividend reinvest.
Growth Option:
Under this plan returns accrue to the investor in the form of capital
appreciation as reflected in the NAV. The scheme will not declare the dividend
under the Growth plan and investors who opt for this plan will not receive any
income from the scheme. Instead of income earned on their units will remain
invested within the scheme and will be reflected in the NAV.
Plans Available To Investors:
In Mutual Funds, other than one time investment, some other plans are
available for the investor today.
These are:
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)
Systematic Transfer Plan (STP)
Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP)M
Systematic Investment Plan:
It is a disciplined way of investing, where an investor invests fixed amounts at
a regular frequency. Systematic Investment Plan is available for planned and
regular investments. Under this plan unit holders can benefit by investing
specified rupee amounts periodically for a continuous period.
This concept is called Rupee Cost Averaging. This program allows Unit
holders to save a fixed amount of rupees every month/ quarter by purchasing
additional units of the Scheme(s). Rupee cost averaging does not guarantee a
ReLIANCeMutualFund
Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group
31
8/3/2019 Relaince Mutual Funds
32/93
profit or protect against a loss. Rupee cost averaging can smooth out the
markets ups and downs and reduce the risk of investing in volatile markets.
Rupee Cost Averaging
Month Amount One
Invests
NAV No. of Units
1 Rs. 1000 Rs. 10 100.00
2 Rs. 1000 Rs. 12 83.33
3 Rs. 1000 Rs. 10 100.00
4 Rs. 1000 Rs. 8 125.00
5 Rs. 1000 Rs. 10 100.00
Total Rs. 5000 Rs. 50 508.33
The Average NAV = 50/5 = Rs. 10
The Average Price = Total Investments / Total No. of Units
= 5000/508.33 = Rs. 9.84
What we see from the table is the fascinating aspect of Rupee Cost
Averaging. It makes us buy fewer units when the price is high and more units
when the price is low, thereby bringing down our average cost.
Systematic Transfer Plan:
The Systematic Transfer Plan gives investors the option of systematic transfer
of fixed amounts/ capital appreciation on a periodic basis to another Plan/
Scheme of the Mutual Fund. STP can availed of as a monthly or quarterly
basis from one plan to another plan in the same scheme or to another scheme

SWP for periodic withdrawal of sums from their accounts. Investor can opt for
any one of the following two options offered by the Schemes.
Fixed Amount Encashment
Under this facility, the unit holders can opt to redeem/ switch (transfer) fixed
amount of money from their accounts at periodic intervals.
Capital Appreciation Encashment
Under this facility, the unit holders can opt to redeem amounts equivalent to
the appreciation in their investment value at periodic intervals. Thus the

automatically redeemed and paid to the investors at the Applicable NAV.
Presently this option is available only for investors in Growth Plan/Option
The amount thus withdrawn / switched shall be converted into units at the
Applicable NAV, subject to load, if any, and such units shall be subtracted
from the Unit balance of that unit holder. This facility shall be subject to the

Benefits of Mutual Fund
Reduction in risk:
Mutual funds invest in a portfolio of securities. This means that all funds are
not invested in the same Investment Avenue. Holding a portfolio that is
diversified across investment avenues is a wise way to manage risk.
Reduction in transaction costs:
Through the individual investors contribution may be small; the mutual fund
itself is large enough to be able to reduce costs in its transactions. These
benefits are passed on to the investors.
ReLIANCeMutualFund

36
8/3/2019 Relaince Mutual Funds
37/93
Portfolio Diversification:
By offering readymade diversified portfolios, mutual fund enables investors to
hold diversified portfolios. Through investors can create their own diversified
portfolios.
Liquidity:
Open-ended funds are very liquid as the Mutual Fund companies offer an
open window for redemption on all working days.
Professional fund management:
Investing in markets requires both knowledge and expertise. Experienced fund
managers are able to trade or negotiate better deals, manage the price risk
effectively, exploit trends and opportunities and constantly monitor the
environment.
Tax efficiencies:
Investing in mutual funds is tax efficient. If investors choose the growth option
and stay invested for a year, they only pay long term Capital Gains of 20.4%
of indexed returns or 10.2% of un indexed returns (whichever is lower).
Diversification:
Diversification is the core of any investment strategy. It allows you to minimize
the risks associated with any investment. However, it is very difficult for
individuals to have the requisite diversification for your investment given
smaller portfolios and transaction costs

market.
As far as mutual funds are concerned, SEBI formulates policies and regulates
the mutual funds to protect the interest of investors. SEBI notified regulationsfor the mutual fund in year 1993. Thereafter, mutual fund sponsored by private
sector entities was allowed to enter the capital market. The regulations were
fully revised in 1996 and have been amended thereafter from time to time.
SEBI has also issued guidelines to the mutual funds from time to time to
protect the interest of investors.
All investors whether promoted by public sector of private sector entities
including those promoted by foreign entities are governed by the same set ofregulations. There is no distinction in regulatory requirements for these mutual
funds and all are subject to monitoring and inspections by SEBI. The risks
associated with the schemes launched by the mutual funds sponsored by

SEBIS REGULATION
There was no uniform regulation of the mutual funds industry till a few years
ago. The UTI was regulated by a special Act of Parliament while funds
promoted by public sector banks were subject to RBI Guidelines of July 1989.
The Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) was formed in 1993 as a
capital market regulator.
One of its responsibilities was to regulate the mutual fund industry and it cameup with comprehensive regulations for the industry in 1993. The rules for the
formation, administration and management of mutual funds in India were
clearly laid down. Regulations also prescribed disclosure requirements.
ReLIANCeMutualFund
Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group
46
8/3/2019 Relaince Mutual Funds
47/93
The regulations were thoroughly reviewed and re-notified in December 1996.
The revised guidelines tighten the accounting and disclosure requirements in
line with recommendations of The Expert Committee on Accounting Policies,
Net Asset Values and Pricing of Mutual Funds.
The SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 have been further amended in
1997, 1998 and 1999. Today, all mutual funds are regulated by SEBI. Efforts
have been made to bring UTI schemes under SEBI's ambit with the result that
all schemes, with the exception of Unit 64, are now regulated by the capital
market regulator.

Collection of Data for finding Customer Perception:
Primary sources were used to collect data for finding the customer perception
regarding the various factors considered when investing in mutual fund
schemes.
Primary data have been collected directly from respondents using data
collection methods like survey interviews, questionnaires, measurements and
direct observations. For this, I had made a questionnaire, which was filled in
by the investors.
This questionnaire was carefully prepared and it went through various checksbefore coming into final shape. Various bank officials were initially filled this
questionnaire and feedback were taken from each regarding this and based
on their feedback, changes were made again to it and again it was shown to
them till it got into final shape.
I have included only closed ended questions, which leaves no space for
biasness in individuals response. To get every questionnaire filled, I was
directly involved with the respondents to help and guide them with regard toany difficulty in filling in the required answer.
Various types of questions were included in the questionnaire, which directly
asks the respondents why he is investing in mutual funds and how he rates
the different mutual fund companies according to perceived value and
according to various factors like risks, returns, transparency, convenience and
trust.

DATA ANALYSIS
To analyze the mutual fund schemes using risks and returns, I have used the
various fact sheets of company. A fact sheet is a document containing the
past performance of different schemes offered by an AMC. A fact sheet shows
the allocation pattern, NAV changes since inception of a scheme and
comparative analysis with respect to its benchmark like S&P CNX Nifty and
BSE Sensex etc
Other than fact sheets of various AMCs, Secondary Data was collected from
sources like Internet,Reading Materials of various Investment and Services
Products, References and results from similar projects done in the past.
Web sites of various AMC and other institution were visited for the data
collection of their schemes and past performance.
Various reading material was also used for this like material provided by
AMCs, business newspapers and business magazines like The Economic
Times, Business Standard, and Business World etc.

WEAKNESS:-
1 Prone to Market Risk:
Mutual Funds depend on overall macro economic condition and market
scenario.
2 Tough Competitions:
There is a very tough competition because of large number of Asset
Management Companies.
OPPORTUNITIES:-
1 Hoarding:
Most of the Indians have black money that too in huge amount i.e. the
do not have money in banks, so approaching them is beneficial.
2 Indian Capital Market is Growing:
So more & more new investors are interested in investments.
3 Tailor Made Products:
We have tailor made products like sector specified schemes & even
diversified schemes.

4 Branch Expansion:
Large no. of branches are opening day by day and even we are
traping the countries having almost same type of socio-economic
condition & even same culture etc.
THREATS:-
1 Tough Competition:
As there are so many mutual fund companies having almost same
kind of schemes, so its tough to compete with.
2 Unawareness:
Major % of population is not aware of mutual funds and even
Reliance Mutual Funds, so its hard to convince people.
3 Changing Scenario:
Our market scenario is changing day by day i.e. our market is
fluctuating, so this makes

CONCLUSION
From the analysis of the responses received from the investors in Jaipur City,
a majority of investors are found to be conscious and enlightened regarding
their investments, return & growth.
We have very good market in Jaipur which comprises potential investors but
due to lack of basic promotion & publicity these investors are not fully aware of
our company & whosoever is aware of our company.
Their investment decisions are done on the basis of security, analysis of risk
yield & return few parameters like Demographic, Physiological, Income, etc.
So my findings are that Reliance Mutual Fund Company should make little
more efforts to trap the potential investors, like Media Advertisement,
Paper Advertisement, Seminars & Business Meets & building a good
relationship with potential business, moreover friendly guidance.

LIMITATIONS
UNCERTAINITY OF MARKET:-
Mutual Funds are securities investments are subject to market risks and there
is no assurance or guarantee that the objectives of the Scheme will be
achieved.
As with any investment in securities, the NAV of the units issued under the
Scheme can go up or down depending on the factors and forces affecting the
capital markets.
LACK OF PUBLIC AWARENESS:-
In Jaipur Mutual Fund Industry is in infantry stage so people are unaware of it.
So people are afraid to invest & they only trust of some govt funds like UTI ,
SBI, G. Securitys. Which give assured returns?
HIGH COMPETITION:-
Due to the existence of large number of AMCs the competition is high.
Investors are confused that where they have to invest and where not. Other
AMCs offered the same type of product/schemes which diversified the
investors.
RIGID AND TRADITIONAL STRUCTURE:-
The people believe investing in Bank FDs and Post Office saving and are
reluctant to invest in Mutual Fund. People like to secure money in terms of
lending to the people on high interest they meant their amount is safe.

8/3/2019 Relaince Mutual Funds

SOCIO- ECONOMIC FACTOR:-
The standard of living is low and people have low saving so investment in
Mutual Fund is low. The most of the people of this country are agriculture
dependent So they have less to invest
POLITICAL FACTOR:-
Due to volatile govt & their policies regarding investor & investment, the stock
market is not integrated which in turn affects the mutual fund industry.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1) The investors above the age of 50 years must be taken into
consideration they are having great potential regarding investment.
2) Reliance must lay down some sound strategies to trap more customers
by giving them more commission in comparison to other investment
centers.
3) Reliance must use marketing tools like point of purchase,
advertisement through Mass Media like loading Newspapers,
Magazines, Television, Exhibition, Fairs, SMS on Mobiles,
advertisement on the internet.
4) The organization is lacking on the parameters of motivation. It is
recommended that the organization must adopt the concept of
motivation
5) Reliance should organize programs for customer awareness in
developing areas and establish a confidence and belief among the
customers residing there.
